the error of ingratitude may find no place

And. before dealing with statistics. let rs
examine the condition of the party at the
time of his nomination. Twcnty-siN
states had democratic administrations and
the old time majorities in republican states

rank and file; within 1t, two factions the
prohibitionsts and the self styled indie

in personnel both demanding distinctive
reforms, and it does not appear that the
former could have been conciliated by any
nomination from the republican party.
The latter demanded the nomination Of

The signs of the times relative TO the
propitious. and the people have a growing
confidence which approximates to feeling
of certainty that in 1855 the sc. O. p.
will meet with most signal success. One
Of the most promising indications for the
future is the rapidity with which Republi-
can Clubs are springing up in various sec
tions of the country. We regard the move
ment as strong one and one eminently
calculated to infuse into Republicans that
inspiration and activity which will prove
so necessary and ctiicacious in the coming
campaign.
The Republican party has within its
ranks just the material which j. needed
for vigorous work within the organiza-
tons to which we refer. The long even

winter season should be devoted to some
considerable extent to the good work

laid the matter before Collector Redman
who thought him not liable. The matter
rested until he learned through friend

liable. The governor and council advised
that the State pay the tax rather than con-
